I just with people would do more than just kill each other. Take today for example. Both sides were too busy shooting each other up, whilst I snuck around uploading the viruses and won the match.

It's fun, but could be way more fun escorting, ambushing, foiling the other teams plan.


Ah well, at least it looks good.

    I've had some epic battles on Shanty Town involving stopping or escorting the virus carrier(s). Teamwork makes or breaks these, and I love good teamwork.

    Love this map.

    More objective based maps, please. Ground and space.

    It takes a few tries before folks get the hang of what the objectives are. My first time in, I had no idea what to do about "security" levels.

    Now I know.

    :)

    Shanty Town is a fun map. All they need to do is ...

    1- Fix the bugs that made it live.
    2- Make the information on what to do in there much clearer.

    After that, I think it will become a popular map.

    I have to ask as well, i thought it was just another ground map for some good old kill fest.

    Whats this about virus uploads and how on earth do you do them??:confused:

    Too bad Shanty Town is bugged and you don't get any credits or reward from it - at least for KDFs it is.

    It's funny though, most people that play Shanty Town don't even realize there are objectives.

    And there's only one respawn spot. My team has done some pretty nasty things involving setting up an ultimate spawn camp on a full enemy team. We didn't have to do it - just wanted to see if it was possible. The results were pretty grim for them.

    Surgery, I'm suprised that all this time I have yet to run into you in a PvP match. We need to link up some time and kick some TRIBBLE.

    Without question, Surgery is one of the most fun people in the game to ground PvP with. I personally enjoy it because I get to play Semtuk a different way when in 'that' group, more of a support guy instead of a tank or damage dealer.

    That goes for K'Tana as well.
